It’s fun to give special people in your life a little treat,
Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day is the perfect occasion!
Fill a mug or teacup with a few Valentine treats
It’s like a mini gift basket, as fun to make and give, as it is to get!
For these gifts I used a vintage teacup, a large coffee mug,
a mercury glass votive holder, and a ceramic heart shaped cup and saucer
I gathered my stash of Valentine things,
plus Starbucks Vanilla Latte and Peppermint Mocha Latte mixes
I added a few recent purchases from Home Goods {marshmallows and candy}
and Target {gift bags and chocolate truffles}
Small treat bags were filled with marshmallow and gum drop hearts
and tied with shiny ribbon
I cut heart straws into different lengths
to hold the lollipops for inserting into the cups
And then the fun began as I filled the cups
with a mix of candies, straws, cupid picks and treats
No two are alike
The mug got a special “You are my best friend ornament”
and a heart marshmallow stick
The teacup has goodies inside and out
A bag of heart marshmallows, a lollipop, straws, latte mix
with a chocolate truffle and a Creme Brûlée square on the saucer
The mercury glass votive holder has a similar mix of items
Plus a cupid and a paper Text me heart {made with PicMonkey}
The ceramic heart teacup holds a pink package of 2 white chocolate truffles
along with latte mix, straws and individual chocolates
Even though they all are filled with basically the same things,
isn’t it fun that they all look so different?!
Notes:
Wrap marshmallows in clear plastic wrap to preserve freshness
Gift wrap the cups with clear paper and tie with a bow on top
Tie a card or note to the cup handle

Here’s a few more ideas,
paint a glass or a plate with hearts or
paint hearts on mini canvases and “frame” them with ribbon
